    Sizes 38-60?? Damn vanity sizing really did a number on women’s fashion over the decades. (We’re down to “00” sizing… I really don’t know where they plan to go from here)

      “Sizes 38-60” probably denotes waist or hip measurement

      Modern sizing for ladies’ dresses and pants (00 - 20s) is not a direct measurement

      They could go “triple zero”, “quadruple zero”, etc., but a better solution would be to scrap multiple zeros and use “-1”, “-2”, “-3”, etc.

      The best solution would be to scrap vanity sizing entirely and just use the actual measurements, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
